Nature is our playground – have people forgotten ?

TV has become a nanny almost from the day a child is born. When the child grows up he has PC-games with violence and competition. The need for visual stimuli grows year by year, and the child becomes addicted. The more visual impressions a small child receives – the more he closes off his creativity. This is stored in the rear of the brain and becomes an addiction. The inner life of the child becomes shut off – and he grows up with apathy and without creativity. He has forgot HOW to play !

This is the price of the modern civilization. Children have no time anymore just to be children !
We can, however, choose to go back to nature and the natural. Let us reclaim the art of playing and stimulate the creative thoughts of our children !
Our family lives without cellphones, wireless PC`s or phones. We have no TV and we do not listen to the radio. And even newspapers and magazines are absent in our home.
For us it is important to let children be children, without the pressures of a modern life style.

Nature is our playground. All of us can benefit from the elements of nature – no matter where we have chosen to live.
Our family loves to be in nature – in fact we are so fortunate that we have pristine nature all around us here in the mountains of Norway. Hiking in the forest is a thrill for our youngest when we play hide and seek behind tall trees, climbing the mountains and follow the creeks and rivers looking for mystical treasures.
There can be trolls, elves and other beings to be discovered – and what a joy it is to make small bark boats and rafts from nature`s debris.
Cones become animals and twigs become friends.
There are beings and energies in nature who love the laughter of children. Children need to return to the natural and to spend time in nature from an early age, in order for them to keep their contact with their inner self and their creativity.

It is easy – it is just to remove the TV , PC-games and all kinds of plastic material which are full of poisons, programmings and chemicals.
We can all buy organic toys made of natural fabric – or even better; make them together with our children – this is very popular !

We made rattles from tree and wool for our children. We bought nothing except books.
Teddy bears and ragdolls were sown with organic cotton and stuffed with raw wool.
To make toys the old fashioned way – the way our grandparents were used to –is more than a pleasure. Children experience a unique contact with the fabric and use all their senses – which enhance their creativity and intelligence. Their artistic faculties become fully developed – they can use their imagination in a joyful way.
In this way they will keep their contact with their inner self – they are stimulated from the inside out. This is the way it is supposed to be –and the opposite of the way it is now. Now they become addicted to being stimulated from the outside – and they loose the valuable connection with their inner self.
Imagine playing with healthy toys instead of toys with fumes and toxins which dulls the brain.
To use all the senses – to see, hear, smell, taste and touch is positive for the brain development.
Toys and playing are meant to create harmony – so that the child can express himself and live his own truth.

When children play they can sometimes regress to experiences in this life or past lifetimes. This can be a healing in a playful way. We are able to heal anything from within – and the children are naturally close to the Source.

What children enjoy most is when we as parents take part in the playing. We adults need to become like children again – “ A child shall lead the way home..”
The home is in every heart. Home is WITHIN OURSELVES. CHILDREN HAVE COME TO LEAD US HOME – WITHIN – AND ONLY WHEN WE FEEL AT HOME INSIDE ARE WE ABLE TO LIVE A WHOLE AND HAPPY LIFE.

The children are the greatest treasures on earth – and it is her purpose to help parents support their children to bring forth their highest potential, to be happy and healthy.
Her philosophy is that ALL the children on this beautiful planet are our responsibility – not just our own kids.

Pearl Shanti`s calmness and tolerance makes it easy for children to confide in her- they know that she can see them for who they truly are.When working for the school Nature Kids in England these abilities were especially useful.

To be parents is a blessing and a gift when we regard life as a joy – not a struggle…
Her experiences in her own life have shown that conscious parenting works.

She is here to serve in a truthful and humble way.
Moreover her desire is to help motivate parents in improving their lives – to assist families to manage their lives with harmony, LOVE, health and spiritual growth.

All parents do the best they know how. Pearl Shanti is not here to promote “superior” parenting or lofty ideals. She only wants to inspire parents to become more conscious and find solutions that work.

Pearl Shanti Lodur-Lionheart is a wayshower in the new parenting paradigm – guiding parents all over the world in her most important “call” from her heart…
The new parenting paradigm will create a new world as One Family – and it is our task as parents to become the change we want to see in the world.

In her own words:

“We, the parents, are the children’s future and hope … We are the change … and changes can happen quickly if we work together … We ALL do the best WE KNOW HOW …
THERE’S always more that will make us even better at what we do !! But it’s not about what we could have done, should have done , or what we continue to do , but about what we are able to do now and CHOOSE TO DO NOW WITH WHAT WE NOW KNOW !!!! ”

“Pearl Shanti oftentimes encounters aggressive and frustrated parents – parents who feel lack in their lives and projects their pain on Pearl Shanti.She has a feeling of defenselessness, calmness and understanding, and she is thus able to give a useful and loving reply – no matter how aggressive or hostile the comment is. Peace is her defense – and this approach gives the parent room for insight and self-reflection, and in this way the parent is invited to take responsibility and be open for a new way to look at a situation.”-Andiran Lionheart

To quote Pearl Shanti:

“There are never problems, only tasks to be solved.”
And by her gentle guidance many parents will eventually see the solutions in their own life – as well as in their relation with their children.”

“I am here to awaken the wisdom you already have within you”
–Pearl Shanti

Pearl Shanti has recently started the charity program Hearts for a New Life Foundation, which helps young single mothers in Ecuador to a better life.
